Rhodes' goal is to integrate the farmer's market into the Wednesday evening culture and everyday lives of all who visit and live near Downtown Encinitas. These special events are the perfect way for families, locals and visitors to learn how to shop at the market on a regular basis. The market is intended to fill the need for a mid week farmers market in Encinitas. DEMA has been the main coordinator of this farmers market and aims to bolster foot-traffic in the downtown Encinitas district while giving residents more access to fresh, organic local produce. Please call or email Carris Rhodes for more information or market pictures.
